I have to say I really liked Bendis’ Emma (in HoM and the Sentry arc in New Avengers) so I still pin my hope on him. Emma in All-New X-Men is not bad so far.
In my opinion, he can ruin our flawless, unmatched, beloved Emma Frost in following ways:
1) making her a pure arm-candy
2) making her pregnant
3) killing her
4) making her go back to villainy.
I love her moral ambiguity and the fact that she’s a nontraditional heroine is one of the most important reasons why I love her. But that she walks the fine line between hero and villain can be represented perfectly when she’s with X-Men…Joining an enemy team being a villain again means less appearances and less developments of character, it’s clearly not good for her.
She has going through so many traumatic things to be what she wants to be, if she finally went full circle that would be tragic.
It's her decadence that makes her seem more human than most characters. She has all the ingredients of falling apart, but it strong enough to keep herself together. That's her heroism. Not everyone is willing to save themselves.
